You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home went above and beyond in caring for my uncle’s arrangements. Guinevere and the entire team were compassionate, communicative, and truly supportive throughout the process. Their kindness made a difficult time feel a little lighter, and I’m deeply grateful for the respect and care they showed our family.”

“The people here were so unbelievably helpful, calm and understanding. I was so nervous to deal with planning these services, and they made everything so simple and did so with patience and empathy. Communication and documents were clear and extremely timely. I am so thankful for Guinevere and Dustin for everything they did for my family during this hard time, thank you so much!”
— Ashley Maxwell
“We had a very positive experience at AAsum- Dufour Funeral Home. ALL due to Guinevere Jones. She went above and beyond to provide great customer service, balancing compassion with the business of funeral arrangements. We were stunned that she was able to accomplish getting the death certificates and the cremains so expeditiously. Especially since we were here on a limited time (travel from California). She is very professional and knowledgeable, answered every question and concern. She deserves a 5 star rating!”
— Ann Chavez
